globe
n.— «My personal opinion on ‘globe’ (on afterthought of course) remains inclined towards the moderate. and unlike venkatachalam’s blog post, this is not a humorous take. in b-school parlance, the word symbolizes attempts, successful or vain—attempts to cover up lack of knowledge or attempts to appear knowledgeable when one is not. it wouldn’t be a hyperbole to state that it is a representation of true management, albeit a bit foolish—roaring even in the enemy’s camp.» —“Globe—my perspective” by Rama talk.think.toggle Dec. 2, 2004.
